Cargo securement reference
CargoSecurement.com
Practical, source-gated references for cargo securement rules, working load limit checks, flatbed securement, load shift prevention, and cargo claim documentation.
Cargo Securement Rules
Start with FMCSA and the current eCFR Subpart I structure before relying on a summary.
Working Load Limit
Understand WLL, aggregate WLL, direct and indirect tiedowns, and device condition.
Flatbed Securement
Chains, straps, dunnage, blocking, edge protection, and pre-trip checks.
Load Shift Prevention
Open-deck, dry van, reefer, and sealed load considerations.
Cargo Claim Prevention
Factual documentation, photos, seal records, and damage notes without lawyer guidance.
Tools and Checklists
Static calculators and checklist prompts for planning and review.
Sources and Methodology
Rule pages use FMCSA and eCFR sources as the starting point. Cargo pages without a clear source-backed commodity rule are kept general and marked noindex until they receive a stronger review.
The site does not claim agency approval, certification, legal authority, insurance advice, or compliance certainty.
